  The videos make sense to me because they are scientifically solid but in mostly layman's terms. I have a genetic disorder and a child with the same disorder and a child who is a carrier and I know a fair amount about such things but can't always follow the medicalese, etc. But I could readily follow the process he described of inserting the gene into a virus delivery mechanism (viruses being RNA -- ribonucleic acid -- and genes being DNA, aka 2 RNA) and how it impacted the cells lining the gut and this made the whole idea of gene therapy much more approachable for me personally and less scary. People with CF routinely volunteer for medical experiments out of desperation and I respect their right to do that while simultaneously worrying about the real motives of the experimenters and how much to trust them. CF is a dread disease with a short life expectancy and I worry about such people being viewed like human lab rats and how that could go really bad places. So I have enough background knowledge I don't feel his videos are a scam and I'm encouraged because many people with CF don't tolerate dairy very well. So even addressing lactose intolerance in people with CF would be life enhancing for many of them.
